Executioner

Tang Miao scoffed, "Do you really think you're that strong?"

The man, however, acted as if he were indeed very strong, and after a cold laugh, began to describe the Ice Element constellations.

"The Ice Coffin!!"

His speed was incredibly fast, almost on par with Tang Miao's. A chilling Ice Coffin fell from the dark sky, its immense freezing power and crystal-clear ice spirit coffin instantly enveloping Tang Miao.

Tang Miao did try to defend himself, but his opponent's Ice Element cultivation was simply too high. The previous attacks were just minor skirmishes; this was his true strength!

"Fierce Fist! Nine Palaces!"

However, after the ice layer condensed, Xiao Tian used some of Flame Ji's power to release the power of the Calamity Flame and the Azure Phoenix Flame!

The blooming of the two flames caused the ice layer enveloping it to begin to shatter.

The Ice Coffin began to melt, and its thick iceberg body, unable to withstand the impact, showed numerous cracks.

At first, only a few sparks spilled out from the cracks, followed by raging tongues of fire. After a while, the entire Ice Coffin Mountain was ablaze, and Tang Miao's body was completely enveloped in the brown and blue flames.

Although the power borrowed from the sleeping Flame Ji wasn't as strong as when she possessed him, the fusion of the two flames was enough to ensure that Tang Miao wouldn't be controlled by this small Ice Wall.

"Huff... huff..."

Just then, a purple whirlwind swept in from another alley and stopped around Tang Miao.

He was the one who came to help after Aoluna made the request!

A glance at the man's attire revealed it to be black and gold, just like Aoluna's. He was likely a Wind Element mage of the purple wind Spirit Seed. Judging from his aura, this man's strength surpassed Aoluna's. Clearly, he was also a Temple Mage, and his status was probably quite high.

"Hmph, committing violence in broad daylight, courting death!"

The Temple Mage strode forward, his gaze fixed intently on the man who controlled the hailstones, and spoke in a cold voice.

Then, purple air currents continued to swirl around, appearing chaotic and disorderly, yet forming an ever-strengthening cycle, with wind pushing wind, creating more and more distinct and clearer trajectories!

"Purple Wind Domain... Hmph!" The man snorted coldly upon seeing this.

The Temple Mage arrived much faster than he had expected, especially the one in front of him who could manipulate purple energy.

It wasn't that he was afraid of this somewhat famous Temple Mage, but rather that the man with the hailstones was considering that this was the territory of the Temple of Freedom. If some Super Level Mage was just wandering around nearby happened to come over, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed!

Then, the man glanced at Tang Miao and said, "Kid, you can run away now, but you can't hide forever. I will definitely kill you."

After saying that, the other party hurriedly left the area.

Tang Miao did not pursue. Without Ice Element domain, even if he could win, he would likely have to pay a heavy price.

Moreover, Tang Miao was certain that the executioner would not let the matter rest. However, if he dared to appear again, the situation would definitely not be the same. His control over his Ice Element domain was now almost equal to that man's.

"Are you a contestant from the National Team of Huaxia?" Master Zifeng asked calmly after the man ran away.

Tang Miao glanced at the other person and then said, "You came too fast. If you had been a little later, I might have been able to capture him."

The Temple Mage paused... then continued, "We Temple Mage will investigate this matter, but I think that guy will find another opportunity to kill you. You'd better be careful."

Tang Miao smiled and replied, "He dared to attack less than five kilometers from your Temple of Freedom, so I don't think my caution is of any use."

Aoluna looked at Tang Miao and observed the battle that had just taken place, then speculated, "That guy is an executioner from the Black Vatican. They are extremely powerful, and most of them are incredibly arrogant. There's practically no assassination or murder they can't carry out. This group is quite terrifying."

The Purple Wind Temple Mage also said, "They'll send executioners to deal with you; it seems you're very important to the Black Vatican."

Tang Miao simply nodded, saying nothing more. Come to think of it, these Temple Mages are nothing special! Even when the Black Vatican came to their doorstep causing trouble, they didn't manage to stop them.

In Xiao Tian's view, the Temple Mage were nothing more than figures of empty fame.

Xiao Tian directly refused their invitation and left alone, as he was of no use here. As for Aoluna? He probably wouldn't have a chance to get to know her properly this time.

Their responsibility was also to treat the wounded here, and they needed to keep the news of this incident confidential. They couldn't afford to let the Black Vatican's blatant disrespect get out; it was a direct slap in the face to their powerful nation...

After leaving this place, Tang Miao returned to his residence at the National Government.

They happened to run into Jiang Shaoxu and her group of girls, who were returning home looking very happy.

However, apart from Jiang Shaoxu who enthusiastically came over to tell her about what happened that day, the other girls were quite indifferent. Mu Nujiao, in particular, simply gave her a disdainful look and prepared to go back to her room.

Jiang Shaoxu noticed some tears in Tang Miao's clothes and asked, "How did you get these?"

She clearly remembered that Tang Miao arrived perfectly fine when they separated today, so how did she end up like this?

"I encountered an executioner who seemed to be from the Black Vatican. We fought, but he escaped because of the arrival of the Temple Mage." Tang Miao recounted his encounter with the executioner in a casual manner.

The girls were all taken aback upon hearing this!

Especially Mu Nujiao, looked over with some concern after hearing that Tang Miao had been attacked by the Black Vatican's executioners.

Although she didn't know what an executioner was, anyone connected to the Black Vatican was definitely not a nobody...

Compared to Mu Nujiao and Mu Ningxue's concerned glances, Jiang Shaoxu went straight to checking on them. "Are you alright?"

She now considers herself the Big Wife. It's not that she's narcissistic; it's just that Tang Miao, that scoundrel, is practically glued to her every day, except for not saying he wants to marry her. Of course, he hasn't actively harassed any of the other girls in the team!

Of course, all of this is just a superficial phenomenon.

Mu Ningxue said: You probably don't know what happens when it's late at night...

Mu Nujiao said: You're overthinking it...
